Liz laughs nervously. It's clear from her accent that she's from the Midlands of England, so she's most likely as fond of London as the old lady is.

"Actually I am on my gap year from U.W.E. How could you tell? It was the cricket bat, wasn't it?"

'I have a name, you know,' Excalibat messaged her. Liz ignored it.

"And I'm with you on the supers. All they care about is making the papers with 'heroics'. They don't care about the little people anymore. These days, they wouldn't even get a cat out a tree if there wasn't a camera nearby."

'Starting to get really bad feelings about the Men in Black' Excalibat messaged Liz. She glanced at them all. The bat was right. Their behaviour was unusual. She had best be on her guard.

Meanwhile... two blocks away...


What?
I got sick of waiting, so I posted.
Liz watches the hero fly past, wrestling a bear. The real heroes. The ones with the recognition and fame. The role models. The people who every criminal in the city curses the name of, let alone knows. The heroes Liz was striving to be.

It was times like this that she didn't envy them. Times like this that she was glad she was an almost-nobody. She didn't fancy wrestling a bear. She's rather talk a scared kid out of mugging someone, or get a cat down from a tree, or...

She looked ahead of her, and smiled.

Or helping an old lady cross the road.

You may not be saving the city, but every act of kindness you do makes you a hero to one person. And really, that's what being a hero is all about. Of course, getting your bills paid is also nice...

Excalibat sent Liz a message. The bat didn't speak, as such, and it wasn't exactly telepathy as the bat didn't have a brain. Still, it communicated with her. The bat said "Have you noticed the Agent Smith lookalikes?"

Liz as a matter of fact hadn't, and found it a tiny bit odd, but didn't pay any more mind to it. "It's probably just a bunch of business people or something," she sent back to Excalibat, but even as she did, she had her doubts about it. It sounded slightly more suspicious when she thought it.

Everybody had been ignoring the old lady in need because of the spectacle ahead. Nice job breaking it, hero. She turned her bitterness at the crowd into smugness that she was being a better hero than Mr. Whatshisface in this regard, at least.

Beamer approached the old lady, smiling.

"Would you like any help?"
I'm assuming Team Beta will not be posting until all five positions are filled.
Laura Paul




”Get the hell out of there! You're getting flanked up the arse!”

Laura stands at around 5'6" and has stocky build that makes her look heavier than she really is. In truth she keeps herself very fit with a PureGym membership and daily runs around Glasgow Green, as well as the occasional getaway. She very often wears the bare minimum when it comes to makeup, and very rarely does anything with her hair, because if there's wind or rain, what's the point? She's most comfortable in a skirt, leggings, and a black t-shirt under a denim jacket. If it's baltic outside she'll wear a yellow scarf.

Personality
Laura is loud, friendly and always up for a laugh if she's with friends, but when she's on a job she becomes deadly serious and will only talk if she has to. Facing an enemy, she becomes a prickly, relentless foe. Even if a close friend does wrong by her, she will not let them get away with it lightly.

Laura is honest to a fault and has a cruel sense of humor, so don't expect a whole lot of civility, though she has enough tact to know when to keep her mouth shut, most of the time. Still, if you're the type of person who takes pity on a guy if their toupee blows off in he wind, Laura may get on your nerves, as her reaction to that scenario would be to point and laugh very loudly, maybe even throwing in a few barbs and insults to the mix.

History
Laura was a high school dropout, who lived in the East End of Glasgow. Her downward spiral started easily enough; Keeping a lookout when some of her seventeen year old mates tried to sneak into nightclubs via the toilet window. It escalated from their. She kept a lookout while they broke into shops and warehouses. She kept lookout while they collected money from debtors. She kept lookout one night when they robbed a corner store, and that was the time she was arrested. Rather than run, she went out of her way to raise the alarm to her partners in crime, allowing them to escape. She was put on six months community service, but even when that was over, she couldn't get a job due to her criminal record.

She fell back into her old ways very fast. it wasn't very long before she was working for people who knocked on doors in Easterhouse holding meat cleavers, or was asked to tail gangsters even worse than the people she worked for. Her name got passed around a lot as "The lass you want keeping an eye on you." She garnered a lot of respect and fondness from the people she worked with, and she had a similar fondness for them.

It was on her 21st birthday 'party' that the police kicked down the door of their den and busted the whole lot of them. The last memory Laura has is getting out the police van and starting to walk to the station.

Expect it tomorrow
I wanted to be an observer before I even got that far down the page. It's fine.
